Welcome to Erica’s DECEMBER STAR SCOPES.  My StarScopes are an alchemy of astrological signs, tarot insight, and angelic guidance.  As it is December, it is a month filled with the light of candles, thoughts of angels and faeries, no matter how you choose to celebrate.  So, this month I have used my Angel Wisdom Tarot paired with Karen Kay’s Oracle of the Fairies to bring you their joy and guidance.

December’s ruling angel is Anael, the angel of romantic love, great news if you have plans under the mistletoe. Anael has dominion over the air, so you could say: “love is in the air”. And of course, her planet is Venus. And we certainly need the power of Venus around us.

I wrote this message last year and, for different reasons, it still has resonance. We are traversing a tough course in living on planet earth. Alas, perhaps that is what we needed to push us collectively into a more compassionate frame of mind and force us to evaluate what and who really matters.  However, if you have struggled with mental health, with finances or with loss, in this moment I pray for grace to surround you. I and many others have walked there with you. When loss comes in whatever form, the only thing to be done is to grieve, be thankful the time you had together, and vow to make your life as fulfilled as you can in honour of their memory.  Some days, when pain and doubt cripple us, fully engaging with life can seem an impossible task. I can only share that in my experience those days have to be acknowledged, be a gentle as you can with yourself and know that other days will be better. Love and hope are both eternal.  This month holds the seed of renewal as we reach the solstice when the sun is reborn. Choose life and light and know at your very core that you are here with a purpose. No matter what your station in life, you matter very much indeed, and you are always loved beyond measure by your angels and many more.

In this season of sparkles and goodwill, keep your thoughts positive. You are one of the most practical and pragmatic signs of the zodiac, yet you have such power of manifestation at your heart and at your fingertips this month.  Don’t allow worry to rain on your parade. Worry is just negative projection that puts the brakes on your ability to create a flow of abundance in all its forms and the arrival of exciting new opportunities. Believe in yourself.  Light a candle, make a wish, and blow your heart’s intention into the universe where it can begin the magic.

Aquarius, you have an interesting month coming your way. Brilliant ideas, intellectual challenges, and the odd roadblock to keep you alert. Review everything. Receive all information as valuable feedback. Sometimes this will bring long buried emotions back to the surface. No need to react to them, just acknowledge them.  They are feedback, too. What is being offered is new emotional experience and a more connected and compassionate view of life which will allow you to keep moving forward in the challenging times we are traversing. Take care of yourself during this busy season, keeping the balance between work, rest and celebration.

Pisces, oh most feeling and psychic of signs, your watery sensibilities will be overflowing this month. Commune and enjoy the love when you are feeling in the mood and allow yourself to retreat and nurture when you need time to recentre and regroup. Pay particular attention to the moon phases this month as you will be particularly attuned to the energies. Tap into the love which runs through the festive season, no matter what philosophies you espouse, and view the commercial hype for what it is – illusion. Most of all, make a wish.  The Sagittarian energy is Zeus energy, ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion and creativity.  Use it well!

Aries you have dual goals in December. Firstly, stand up for yourself. Be very honest and clear about what you wish to manifest in your life. Write it down on paper. That’s manifestation, step one! Now let it go. Spend the rest of your time choosing peace of mind through meditation or other forms of mental, emotional self-care. Become your own best friend. Find your inner strength, your personal power.  Channel your inner lion. Hone your focus to create a vision board of motivation, inspiration and self-determined leadership.  Acknowledge your skills, celebrate the gifts you bring to the world. Don’t be afraid of solitude in this busy month, that’s where you will find the strength and peace to make empowered decisions.

Taurus be even more aware than usual of how other people’s energy affects you.  You are ruled by Venus, the planet of love. You may find yourself facing important choices. If you are procrastinating or over analysing, spend some time dropping out of your head space and into your heart. Try scenarios on as if you were choosing clothes.  How do you feel when you envision yourself in that situation? Now try on an alternative. Feel it!  Emotions can be a valuable GPS system. It can be challenging inner work but very well worthwhile. You need to feel enthusiastic, optimistic and alert to the creative possibilities that lie ahead. Don’t allow fear to cloud your judgement.  Very few choices in life are irrevocable. Make the most heartfelt one that you can.

You can expect a very positive month, Gemini, The birth of ideas, projects, children. Whatever comes your way, there’s definitely news worth celebrating. You may feel a sense of hope and reconciliation with family members or coming to peace with ideologies. The outcomes will not be immediate; this is the blueprint and planning stage. When you review your year that is passing and prepare for navigating the next, consider where you wish to steer your ship. You don’t have to choose a set destination yet, just which ocean to try.

Oh, we humans!  What are we like? When we set out to manifest, we get so wrapped up in definite outcomes. And what comes with that? Doubts. Worries. Negative projections. Let go, let go, let go. All worry achieves is to rob you of peace in the present. Give yourself a gift. Hold everything and everyone in love.  If they are meant to be in your life, they will be. If not, release with all the loving intention for their future happiness you can muster. This is the season of goodwill, so tap into all that positivity. Ask your angels, guides, spiritual mentors, your higher self, whomever you work with, to surround you with loving energies.  Allow them to hold the space for you. And you’ll love the full moon – after all, you are ruled by it.

Pay attention to words and conversations this month, Leo. The words that spring immediately to mind are those of the Serenity Prayer.  Address the Universe, God, Goddess, Abwoon D’Bashmaya, The All, That – whatever name you give to the creative life force of multiverses and beyond:  please grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.  We live in times of rapid change and global awakening. What a gift. Allow change to flow. Be open to revelations and navigate with your heart and innate wisdom.

Your mission in the month of December, Virgo, should you wish to accept it, is to have more fun. The season arrives with a “to do” list that would task the strength of an ox. Of course, we want to celebrate and cherish those we love with time and gifts. But it shouldn’t be at the expense of your joy. Of all the signs, you are most likely to be burdened by the pressure of organisation. Yes, you are an organising earth sign ruled by Mercury, the messenger, but you don’t have to do it all. This is the festive season which is meant to bring connection, celebration and a sense of wellbeing. Maybe choose to partake of that by focussing on a family tradition or reinstate a ceremony your ancestors used. Make it special not by commercialism but by honouring who you truly are.

Libra, feel it! Of all the signs you are the one most likely to think your way through the commotion of the festive season.  Take a breath, take time to tune into your home, which is your sanctuary, before you decide how to adorn it. Put friends, family – including beloved animal companions – at the heart of your plans. Of course, at some point, you will get caught up in the practicalities of gifting and writing cards. But keep a sense of humour though it all. If things don’t go right or happen in the proscribed time, laugh and go with it. Life is not meant to look perfect; not all pictures hang straight. Life is meant to be embraced, loved and shared. Believe in magic and let your scales down.

Being the deepest of the water signs, you might find yourself feeling over stimulated and over sensitive this month. Flowing with his emotional undercurrent your intuitive and psychic abilities will heighten. Don’t rush at things. It’s fine to take a pause while you view the seascape before you. If you give life time and space the vista may look a little different. It could actually be different, or your perceptions may have shifted. Either is way is OK. Allow the energies of the Sagittarian season to lift you up. Be bold, courageous and optimistic. Choose activities you are passionate about.

Sagittarius, as your new year begins you can expect new beginnings. This can mean situations, new people in your life, new growth and most of all the end of connections that have served their purpose and need to be released. Release is a powerful practice of forgiveness, gratitude and surrender which opens portals to fertile ground where you can plant seeds of intention and fall in love with life.  Be honest with yourself.  Pull out any weeds of judgement against yourself or others. Set your intention to acknowledge and deal with any habits or addictions which you may have dragged along your path like a weight around your ankles.  Transformation acts like a fairy godmother’s touch – you can go to the ball, Cinders.
